Sonnet 12
Chris Allen Scott

O our quantum leap into one another !

When we swam into a tomb of marigold

our capes covered the missing door

where our youth ate the philosophers stone

now my ecstasy can play safely dead

if death can now be part of the play

o he'll grab a sword to defend

melodrama from a time drenched blade

and loosen his boots to draw down

a moon he worshipped for a pillow

so as to rest his head from the sound

of his ladyloves pointed pistol

but when the curtain falls I shall say

When will our true selves outdo those onstage ?

MESSAGE TO MY HONEY
Troy Edison Tiu Yaw

In your arms is where I want to be

Being caressed by you while we kiss

From my loneliness you set me free

When I'm alone, you're the only person I really miss!

Just want to say that I love you

With you, I feel I already have everything

Blessed men are only few

You're my darling and my everything!

DREAMS
dennis nicholas

As I pause in a restful slumber

exhaling a peaceful sigh

I dream of things, unknown things

To some I wonder why

There are dreams that bring me tears

and dreams of joy I try to make

Then there's the dreams that race the heart

and really make me shake

The dreams that give me warmth and pleasure

are ones of love I hold and treasure

As I begin to wake my eyes do open wide

I lie there in astonishment, wondering

Have I just crossed to the other side

5 SHORT POEMS BY: HOOMAN SHAHKAR

THE ENIGMA

Worm said God is apple.

Canary said God is the hand full of seeds.

Goldfish called God

the water in aquarium.

Lion said God is jungle.

Human was quiet

with eyes wet.

THE GIFT

They gave you steel to love.

The cry of horns

for nightingales' symphony

and sewage

to water your plants.

Your jungle is iron beams

and your best friend

is your PC.

CROWS

Crows are alike.

They sew light to darkness.

Crows are plagues.

They blacken the horizon

but crows donít know

that the life will go on

with them or without.

WHAT WE HAVE

If there is no rain my tears are.

If there is no dawn

the beauty of dusk is.

And if we canít wash moments

we can wash the hands of mind

in the river of time.

If there is no spring

there is autumn

with colorful leaves.

UNTITLED

When silkworm must die

a pair of wings

is given to her.

She flies toward a flame

and burns.

~*~

"UNINVITED GUEST"

What am I thinking,

of a brief visit from Death?

A reunion with survival

down a hole of enormous depth.

Thoughts losing, laughing, loving.

Touch passing, fasting, shoving.

A feeling trapping, collapsing

collectors rapping, RAPPING!

And I cried,

because you weren't there.

Yes, love is this , bliss,

swallowed in your kiss.

My thoughts as I entertain

this uninvited guest.

--Future Fears--
--Eric Bryan Seuthe II

I am the future

I have no love

I have no life

Why do I live when I clearly shouldn't

The Fallen son

Of a good home

But of bad blood

Raised in hate

Taught with pain

Living in you eyes, I have seen your Fears

And while I have survived before

I fall to fast, from grace

While I seek no life, and I seek no end

I merely exist

What Future is there for me.

To A Friend Such As You

By: Jeremiah Sample

The Sun is gone, and the moon is out

And this is the moment my heart starts to shout

It pounds so fast; it pounds so hard

As if I just ran through a big green yard

It pounds for something so genially true

Like a great friend such as you

If I were to loose your friendship tonight

My heart would fly away as if it were a kite

I canít explain the way you make me feel

But I know for a fact that it is the real deal

You make me smile when no one else can

As if God had made this his special plan

When I stare into your beautiful eyes

It lifts me up way beyond the skies

And when I kiss your soft gentle lips

My heart starts to do some magical flips

I want to hold in my arms so tight

And then watch my body take a magical flight

I look up to God and give him a big thank you

For a wonderful friend such as you

Useful
Kostas Hrisos

Today the wind was rattling my window

more than ever.

I wedged a piece of paper in the gap.

It was your letter.

~*~

Listen closely to what I have to say,

It may change the way you look at things today,

walk around the block and take a good look,

and don't look at life as if it's coming out of a book

take a good look around and notice

some way these ghetto born children have to stay focused,

over here some might say,

we'll never make it to see what you call a better day

we're tired we're trapped we just cant' take it no more,

only things that pushes us further is our faith in the lord,

so many tears, so much pain,

so many hard days nether you or I can explain,

I have to stay focused is what I tell my self ,

stay focused, stay focused until there's nothing left,

let me free of this struggling life I can no longer watch my brothers and
sisters lose there lives,

we're here by character not by choice,

there's no way that I can really take the stand and have a voice,

look at it from this point of view,

life is along battle to get thru,

maybe not for some but for those around my way,

getting up in the morning hustling just to make pay,

there tired of this life but they no, no other,

is there a war on them or just a war on each other,?

we're tired!!

open your eyes can you see? look deep, deep beneath the world you so
call see, and look unto our world,

can you see the pain can you see the fear can look a little closer and see
how we struggle to raise our kids,

we're tired, we're tired and I can't press it enough,

this life we live in can get to tough,

we didn't ask for this it was given to us,

so now in this life we are stuck,

we're tired!!!

We Are The Freaks

Jessica Heintzelman

First impressions are everything,

your mother said at first,

she taught you all your manners,

and your manners you rehearsed,

you remember them always,

and use them as you can,

little do you know now,

that you lost them as of ten,

you loom around the school looking for the best,

you bump off or make fun of,

the contents of the rest.

There is a girl whom you named obese,

so you call her all the names,

will the mockery never seas,

after school your days just fine,

but hers is full of sorrow,

she cries to her family,

and yet goes to school tomorrow,

she is one of us and we are the freaks,

in each tear she cries one of us speaks.

There is a boy among us,

whom only looks of nine,

so you call him midget,

what a common line,

it was nothing to you,

just another name,

but to him it was agonizing,

this thing you call a game,

he to is one of use,

and we are the freaks,

the fat short ugly people,

you call geeks.

We will not sit quietly,

and take your abuse,

each time you make fun of us,

you slowly tie your noose,

there are so many of us,

there are more then you can count,

this is one club you cant join,

cause we vote you out,

whether it be zits, looks, height, or smell,

the torcher that you put us threw,

is a thing of hell,

we wake up in the morning,

and the first thing on out mind,

is the reason we had woken up,

a reason hard to find,

but the freaks are dying,

as a reason can't be sought,

suicide is loosing,

at the battle we had fought.

Not all of us are strong,

we are merely blood and flesh,

our minds you have contorted,

from meaningful to mesh,

Marie to was one of us,

her hair was short and red,

they found her with her hair pulled out,

hanging she was dead,

no note was needed to explain her suicide,

she was taunted every day,

and from the names she could not hide.

We bleed when cut,

and cry when sad,

were praised when good,

and punished when bad.

If we are the freaks then why do we cry,

you merrily walk away,

with a meager sigh,

damit she's dead don't you care,

you mocked her every day,

over something as of hair,

you listen to me,

don't you turn away,

if it wasn't for you shed be alive today,

what do you have to say for yourself,

you don't cry,

but you're in perfect health,

you call me freak,

and that just might be,

but when it comes to being human,

your more machine its clear to see,

calling people names is your only fun,

well let me tell you when it comes to freaks your the only one.

We are the freaks and we stand proud and tall....or do we?

A Pizza, A Party and A Moonlight Ride
Angel

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.

For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.

She unpacked her things with such great ease.

As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.

How wonderful it was to have her own room.

School would be starting, she'd have friends over soon.

There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy.

It's just the way she wanted her life to be.

On the first day of school, everything went great.

She made new friends and even got a date!

She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,

Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"

To be known in this school you had to have clout,

And dating this guy would sure help her out.

There was only one problem stopping her fate.

Her parents had said she was too young to date.

"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.

They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"

Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.

Her parents frowned but said, "All right."

Excited, she got ready for the big event.

But as she rushed around like she had no sense,

She began to feel guilty about all the lies,

But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?

Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,

But the moonlight ride would have to wait.

For Jeff was half drunk by this time.

But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.

Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.

Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.

Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point.

But only after he'd smoked another joint.

They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,

Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.

They finally made it to the point at last,

And Jeff started to make a pass.

And by a pass, I don't mean playing football.

A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all.

'Perhaps my parents were right...maybe I am too young.

Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."

As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,

Jenny knew that her life was in danger.

She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,

But he just got faster as they neared the town.

"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.

I really went out for a moonlight ride."

Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.

"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"

She doesn't remember the force of impact.

Just that everything all of a sudden went black.

She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,

And heard, "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"

Voices she heard...a few words at best.

But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.

Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,

And if the people in the other care were alive.

She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.

"you've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."

These voices echoed inside her head,

As they gently told her that jeff was dead.

They said, "Jenny, we've done all we can do.

But it looks as if we'll lose you too."

"But the people in the other car.?" Jenny cried.

"We're sorry, Jenny they also died."

Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done.

I only wanted to have just one night of fun."

"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,

And wish I could return their families to them."

"Tell Mom and dad I'm sorry I lied,

And that it's my fault so many have died."

"Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"

The nurse just stood there ~ she never agreed.

But took jenny's hand with tears in her eyes.

And a few moments later, Jenny died.

A man asked the nurse. "Why didn't you do you best

To bid that girl her one last request?"

She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad.

"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."

This story is sad and unpleasant but true,

So young people take heed, it could have been you.

Thatís me.

Kostas Hrisos

My body, a bed sheet,

Spread out on the bed of pleasure,

Stained from the excesses

Of my senses.

My soul, a tablecloth,

Spread out on the table of knowledge,

Stained from the banquets

Of my mind.

Thatís me, a frail curtain,

Hung out on the line of life

Weathered by time.

The Call of Love
Andy

Who am I to argue with my heart

its steady beats keeping me alive

life's blood flows warm through me

feeds my body and soul so I survive

Who am I to fight with my soul

the essence of life ~ my spirit

it speaks in thoughts and visions

so I should listen when I hear it

Who am I to disagree with my body

ignore its want for desired touch

when soft passion can set me free

to my beloved I need so very much

Who am I but a man to be complete

of heart, soul and body ~ all three

I will not argue, fight or disagree

this call of Love between you and me

'Depreciate Inflation'
Drew Henley

With time told still lost away

more fears set alone

astray.

Breathing melted vitamins

what vitamin was air?

Distanced by time

equality didn't care.

Create new means

new mountains built themselves

still found new reasons

look under discount shelves.

Somewhat forgotten

deepened reasons need some purpose

glanced in the lookers eye

still saw nothing but a circus.

Clowns fall down but get right back up

why'd you let yourself down

you'll end up stuck for luck

Ropes pull through

grab ahold if you can

it takes you back up

just don't forget to stand.

My mother said life was a journey

choose the right trail

I've been looking for a highway

or at least a light rail.

STARTING OVER
Luther Ray Jones

It's just like starting over

I've started life anew

It's just like starting over

Since I fell in love with you

I never knew what true love was

Just a vision in my mind

I lived on dreams and hoped for things

I thought I would never find

From the first time I kissed your lips

I knew without a doubt

That you were someone special

I could l never live without

As time goes on our love had grown

Even closer everyday

Our fears from the past can never last

And someday will melt away

Your love has given me the strength

And courage to go on

And from now on our hearts

Will have a place to call home

My Loneliness
Chadd Everette Creed

In my lonely room
A keeper of wills

Crying in a dream
A taker of souls

No time to understand
Reaching out to you

Iím not what I seem
Distant yet close

A way of the heart
Removing a stare

Of feelings down deep
Ceasing a scream

A place in my life
A knife in the night

If youíll only keep
Itís starting to gleam

Down on the ground
A swing from the rope

I dare to plead
Iím starting to fall

A reverted person
Is there any hope

Is all that you see
For the lonely at all

A shattered existence
Leaving an eye open

An unspirited mind
Now looking around

Would you care for me
Hearing my heart beat

Or do you have time
What a rhythmic sound

The world of violence
A scream in my mind

A place of regression
Iím now wide awake

Feeling so paralyzed
A state of confusion

Living in seclusion
Itís all I can take

Torn of my honor
I pick up a pistol

Stripped of my life
Hold it to my head

A dark hollow spot
Squeezing the trigger

Of unrelenting strife
One bullet, Iím dead

~*~

They walk quietly

Only the believers see them

Floating to tropical beats

Around us everywhere

See us sleep

See us dream

See us wake

See us scream

Haunt me, Scare me

Love me, Fear me

Be there watching

Watch me sleep

Watch me dream

Watch me wake

Then I scream

I am a believer

I see you walk

I hear your music

I see you everywhere

Prejudice,
Thomas McCleister

Does it exist

Or is it a dream

Is it a nightmare

That everyone has seen

Is it a terror

That makes us feel like dirt

It fills us with sadness

The deepest kind known

If it were to leave

There is so much love to be shown

The difference between

Two opposite people

Is the hate that builds up

In each ones mind

There is no need to kill

Because of the color of skin

Killing another person

Doesn't make you a winner

Why do we kill each other

We need not

Do we kill because of hate

or depression

Is it a lack of self-confidence

Its a ferocious feeling

When you walk down the street

Constantly wondering

Will this hateful

Horrifying prejudice

Jump out and kill me

Will it stop me

Dead in my tracks?

For we will always

Have to face the facts!!!

"Watching Eyes"

anita nahal arya

Every winter night when covered with a quilt

I call sleep to lie beside

The tapestry of my tears now enmeshed

In the quilt stitching

Stares at me, accusingly

"you want to sleep

having woken us up to reality?"

My tired nerves compel my cold hands to

Close the million pairs of eyes

But each opens as my hand moves away

How can I sleep

With so many eyes watching, waiting for me to get up.

Throwing off the quilt as they jostle me awake

I run out, leaving lighted up eyes following my escape.

~*~

Guess who!!!

Today Is V-Day,

The day I tell someone,

The feelings I have for him.

Today Is V-Day,

The day it all begins,

Maybe a life with me and him.

Thatís what Iím hoping for.

Today is V-Day,

The day I tell you,

I want to give you and I,

A shot at u!

Today is V-Day

The day I tell you,

I want to know you more,

I want to see you again.

Today is V-Day,

The day I tell you,

What I really feel for you.

Who I really am.

Today is V-day,

The day you let me know

How you really feel for meÖ

Do you want to be with me?

Today is V-Day,

Were shall I begin?

By telling you how I feel?

Today is V-day,

What can I say?

Cupid shot mw with

One if his arrows!

Know I look at you,

Form a different light!

Today Is V-Day,

And now its time to,

Guess who!

Too
Bernard Lenoir

Too late to try, too strong to die.

I admire the birds, but I am too human to fly.

Shaped at this point by too many occurrences;

The big and the small, the impact of it all.

It (that which I am) culminates in each and every moment

I realize over and over, the time I have wasted and wisely spent.

Too far along to start over.

Too aware of my own mistakes, I lay any blame at my own feet.

Too happy to be sad, I realize the bitter within the sweet.

Too aware of my heart to ever hate, all glory to GOD for my life on this
date

Too tired to run

Too miserable to be joyful

Too aware of bliss to despair

Too, too much has happened, yet I am having so much fun I can't stop
laughing

Yet, I am left too damaged to be inspired

But I continue to live, it is not time for me to retire.

So, I travel on. Too bad, yet, I have stars in my sky that are true

Because they provide me an alternative view, I give thanks to them

And if you are a bright shining star, then thanks to you too.

Forever Heroes
David R Hodges

Soaring silhouettes, defining the city skyline

Symbols of freedom, both yours and mine.

Haven to thousands, literally, the world's heart

Each person contributing, doing their part

No one knew what troubles lay ahead

Trust and Hope, soon to be dead

A fateful day, a thundering sound

So many souls from this earth did bound

Such evil, the world has never seen

Our minds diseased, our hands unclean

Lives ripped from this mortal earth

A global fear has given birth

Heroes are defined by mere mortal men

They are people who do the right thing when

On that day, the heroes did stand

Rushing to help, they climbed hand, by hand

Warnings were shouted, the towers will fall

But, onward they pushed, standing so tall

They saved so many on their fateful ascent

Not worrying about themselves as they went

Their brothers remain forever by their side

The tears of the world, for them have been cried

Their honor and bravery will be their legacy

Forever remembered with adoring majesty

We will not forget, you were our best

Now it is our duty to lay you to rest.

You showed us how to be courageous and strong

Standing higher than those who would do us wrong

We will keep you by our side as we fight this fight

Nothing is finished until we make this right

We say our prayers that God may bless you

And to your memories we will hold true

~*~

Painful reminders torture the lonely one

Two-hundred thousand times a day

Two hands, two lips, two bodies together

Oneís ego slowly in decline

Two hands, two lips, two bodies together

One thing missing in one mind

Two hands, two lips, two bodies together

One feels detached from oneís desire

Two hands, two lips, two bodies together

One slipping into zeroís fire

LOVE
by Michelle A. Fields

As bold as the rainbow you see in the sky

The blooming of the caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly

Bright, like the leaves as they turn in the fall

Strong, like the wind that can blow through us all

Soft, like the cotton on the sharecropperís plain

Mesmerizing, like the forestry after a good April rain

The sound of childrenís laughter, so warm and mellow as they play

The sweetness of ice cream on a hot summerís day

Radiant, like the bride that has that special glow

Brisk, like the cold that comes with winterís snow

Full, like the spread of the flamingoís tail

Deep, like the ocean on which we sail

Enchanting, as the beauty of the pure white dove

These are the things that describe, LOVE.

I Love/Hate the Player
Marie Taylor

I loved the way you played

The way you knew how to touch my face

And play with my hair

I loved the way you made me think and think

About things I never even thought about

Til I met you

I hate the way you played

The way you lied your way into my heart

The way you told me that you loved me

when you knew It wasn't true

I hated the way I let you play

The way I let my heart feel for you

Now that we are through finally

I can now see the whole player in you

And I hate it

One day
Anthony Long

One day, I saw angels had left a prize here before my eyes, Can a god truly
be so wise to know my hearts desires. Can this luminescent being be
cast from the heavens, wrought with this mortal coil? Averted eyes may
linger, only for a moment, eternity will not wait to begin. I watched
you move along slowly everyday to my delight. I kept you in my sight
for you are so divine. It was slow at first, I couldnít bring my
mind to comprehend,

That this vision I behold, could warm a heart so cold in the end. When
I fly, I soar within the confines of your love. When I cry, I weep for
the one that I adore. I have offered you my soul, connected now to
your own to do with as you will. Years have past us by, my love,
although at times, we have been tried. But you will see I will always
be by your side. We are a team you and I. I would give the earth
and all itís prize just to see my reflection in your eyes. I would
storm this world, if ereí you were lost. I would beat down the gates
of Heaven to make sure you could cross. I find my self upon the altar
of your love. Cool winds play upon your golden brow. Could I
hold up the sun that gives me life? Should I bask in its radiance?
What penitence shall be bestowed to the man who strives to be lover to
Aphrodite? Hand me my cattails for I am that man. Keep them
close for I cannot abate my desire to you my goddess. This match cast
by the three diviners must be struck. I will love you with the
unlimited credit of my heart. I beg to be worthy of this life you have
started. Lost am I in these Silken moments when we touch, and I pray
that you feel as much. I will find the strength to be myself.

FOR GRANTED
Melissa Rutherford

If I do things for you

don't take it for granted

for soon I could be gone

If I should look into your eyes

look deeply into mine

just remember how that felt

When I tell you I love you

believe it with all you can

because you may never feel this way again

While your laying against my heart

hold that memory close by

because my heart can stop at anytime

If we are to ever be apart

for days, months, years, or forever

remember everything happens for a reason

whenever god chooses to take me

never take for granted what I've done

for soon your memories of me will erase

getting there

I am so close to

doing these

silly,

stupid,

fucked up

little things for you.

Like driving 130

miles in the rain

just to put a rose on your doorstep.

Like,

the next time you

have to go to the doctor,

leaving a bottle of wine

for if you're feeling better,

and a can of chicken soup

in case you aren't.

YOUR EYES
Brenda Aguilar

Your eyes are the window to your soul,

Your soul is the hiding place for your pain;

Even though this is what I'm told,

I know it's true cause I can feel your pain.

Open your eyes and look at yourself,

Are you proud at what you see;

Although you may feel you're not worth much else,

There's so much more you can be.

The greatest gift that can be given,

Is so hard to find;

Sometime life may seem not worth living

Love's the gift that's so hard to find.

Back Home At Midnight
Christopher Viard

This is too cold

Too dark

Too small

Far from how it was

This is warm inside

But with broken and missing parts

Keeps everyone on edge, although laughing

Furrowed at the brow, although smiling

And quietly sad

Lights on bright

In the windows without people

Lights dimmed down low at night

In the houses

Where they exist

~*~

Countries Without Borders
sepht

I see their signs on the boulevard

Their faceless envoys drive by

In new cars

Ex-presidents

Know them well

They only live to buy and sell

The killer walks abroad

He keeps his family

In the kitchen

The products that

Never fade

Allow the soul to trade

For madness,

To bend the weather

To kill for the self

And watch others die,

Legally innocent --

With their children they cry

Not wanting to ask why?

So many live the lie,

Bludgeon the market

Run from the trough

Justice is coming

Orgasms

Mad fellows

Whispers of a seasonal dream

Aztec rebirth

Dawn of Ages

Sand

Wheels of time

Roll over memory of kings

Their houses crumble

All is as it should

Acquiesce

Now

Perhaps then, I could easily catch

Your damn heart,

And then toss it in with a whole batch.

If tears could make a silly goose smart,

I could laugh

Loudly and light-heartedly depart.

~*~

I use so feel so broken inside

then you came along

you fixed everything that was wrong

i know your heart has been broken in the past

but now you found me

and i try so hard to mend your broken heart

we help each other

which means so much, which makes us not give up

we'll have the rest of our lives together

to mend whatever is wrong

and in the end we'll live

happily ever after

together we are

something so unique, something so rare

something that everyone in the world wished they had.

Poo On You,

look at your shoe,

cant you see that huge chuck of poo,

hanging there like a dead rat,

howz about that,

cant you see why everyone is looking at you,

you smell bad and have poo oh your shoe,

you could go home and wash it off,

but no you have to be a crum and smell like a bum,

no one likes to sit with you,

when u smell like a rotting shoe,

with food on your face and poo on your shoe

your never even gonna be that cool

Beauty
Stephen Marchand

Tumbleweed hair, silk laced to the ground

Her satin lined figure entangled in my mind

Vision of her beauty, A whisper from the wind told only with the
enchanting breeze
